First I want to thank Kenny B and his 1/16 Scale Peterbilt 359 build for giving me the inspiration for my build. This is my first build in a year and a half and the first semi build ever, this one will take me some time. First thing was to slice and dice the frame. I was lucky that a friend had bought the same model just for the body so I was able to get the additional frame and wheels.

Thanks Clayton, should be a fun build. Thanks Rob, well I just got done rebuilding my house after a fire we had last year and I have a nice big room waiting for me to finish it and it will be my model room but that is a winter project. Thanks for following the build guys. Needed some bigger fuel tanks, so I had some 1 1/4 pvc so cut a few 6" pieces and added some styrene to the ends. Will work on some straps tomorrow.

Thanks Kenny, I will have to custom make the cross members to fit, the kit is the Kenworth W-900 Aerodyne Conventional. The plan for the build is of course stretched with a huge sleeper, with some custom body work. Custom built tanks and pipes. Color I picked is House of color Brandywine kandy with copper accents (rims, tanks, pipes ect..).

Well after a long year of rebuilding my house after a fire and dealing with the insurance company, myself and my wife spent the first night in our rebuilt house. I may have lost everything in the fire, but it was so great to be back home. Starting over is hard, but I am very thankful that my wife of 31 years was by my side. Now to get myself a building area set up and get back to it! It was a Great day!!!
